TheDarkForest

This near-future trilogy possesses the scope of Dune and the rousing action of Independence Day, offering English-speaking readers the first chance to experience the multiple award-winning phenomenon from China's most beloved science fiction author.

The second book in the series finds Earth reeling from the knowledge of an impending alien invasion set to occur in just four centuries. Although the human collaborators aiding the aliens have been defeated, the sophons–subatomic particles allowing Trisolaris instant access to all human information–have exposed Earth's defense plans to the enemy. However, the human mind remains a secret, leading to the creation of the Wallfacer Project. This daring plan grants four men resources to design secret strategies, hiding them from Earth and Trisolaris through deceit and misdirection. While three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, the fourth remains a mystery. LuoJi, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, finds himself baffled by his newfound status. All he knows is that he's the Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants to eliminate.
